n boost Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 My clutch started to judder/vibarate in my e46 m3 6 spd manual recently which has a dual mass flywheel. I haven't driven the car since it started doing this but thought i'd take it for a drive to keep the battery charged today. Things i've noticed today are that the clutch doesn't judder like say it would on a normal car with a worn out clutch, but instead u can feel a vibaration through the clutch pedal along its travel and then judders at biting point when taking off. I can also feel a very slight vibaration when changing gear and letting the clutch out. It doesn't slip and engages all gear fine but when u press the clutch pedal down and hold it their and rev the car at the same time i feel the vibration and it will stay their until i bring the clutch up and move off. I noticed their is a noise when pressing the clutch pedal to the floor whilst in gear and revving the car (stationary). Sounds like chatter and dissapears when i take my foot off the clutch or whilst the car is moving in gear but i also get a whizzing noise when changing gears. Car drives spot on apart from noise/vibration. So the question is............does these symptons seem to be the flywheel fooked rather than clutch? I know box will have to come off either way but would like to know anyway from someone who has more knowledge about clutches/flywheels. I've had loads clutches go on previous cars but none have felt like this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
